Black swans versus the future

Coping with the future, specifically the sudden emergence of black swans: Nicholas Taleb offers some strategies.  Notice the criticism of expert advice.

And some trademark Taleb wit:

• People who were driving a school bus blindfolded (and crashed it) should never be given a new bus.
• Do not let someone making an “incentive” bonus manage a nuclear plant...
• Do not give children sticks of dynamite, even if they come with a warning...
• Only Ponzi schemes should depend on confidence.
• Do not give an addict more drugs if he has withdrawal pains...
